SHIFT CONTROL HOUSING

Disassembly
1. Place selector arm plates and shift rail in neutral position.

3. Using suitable punch, remove selector arm roll in and remove shift rail.

4. Remove sift forks, selector arm plates, selector arm, roll pin, and interlock plate, then remove shift rail oil seal and O-ring using screwdriver.

5. Using hammer and punch, remove shift rail plug, then remove selector arm plates and nylon inserts from shift forks, noting position of plates and inserts for assembly reference.

Assembly
1. Install selector arm plates and nylon inserts in shift forks, then coat edges of shift rail plug with suitable sealer and install plug.

2. Lubricate shift rail and bores and insert shift rail in cover so that end of rail is flush with inside edge of cover.

3. Position first-second shift fork (larger of two forks) in cover with offset facing rear of cover and push shift rail through fork.
